ELFH06160 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH06160 is a 6-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 5mm pitch spacing. This component features male pins with 2-side shrouding and is rated for 15A at 300V UL. The part is currently active in production with 759 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply availability, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements related to housing material or shrouding configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent substitution for the ELFH06160 is determined by the following critical parameters: 6-position configuration, 5mm pitch spacing, vertical orientation, solder termination, through-hole mounting, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in housing material (PBT versus PA66 or PA), shrouding configuration (2-side versus 4-side), contact tail length, and insulation height are secondary design differences that do not prevent functional equivalence when application constraints permit.

The two identified substitutes are:

• 0395211006 (Molex): Maintains all critical parameters with 4-side shrouding and PA66 housing
• 1753518 (Phoenix Contact): Maintains all critical parameters with 2-side shrouding and PA housing

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS requirements. The ELFH06160 and 0395211006 are electrically equivalent at 15A UL rating, while 1753518 operates at 12A UL, making it suitable for applications with lower current demands. Housing material differences (PBT versus PA66 or PA) and shrouding configuration variations (2-side versus 4-side) should be evaluated against specific PCB layout constraints and mechanical assembly requirements. Contact tail length and insulation height variations are minimal and typically accommodate standard PCB hole patterns. Selection should prioritize parts with matching current ratings for applications requiring full 15A capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0395211006 replace ELFH06160 directly on the PCB? A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the 4-side shrouding configuration and the 0.025" (0.64mm) difference in contact tail length. The 5mm pitch and through-hole mounting are identical.

Q: Is 1753518 suitable for 15A applications? A: No. The 1753518 is rated for 12A UL maximum, making it unsuitable for applications requiring the full 15A capacity of the ELFH06160.

Q: What is the impact of housing material differences? A: PBT (ELFH06160) and PA66/PA (substitutes) both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection depends on thermal environment, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress requirements specific to the application.

Q: Are the shrouding configuration differences significant? A: The 4-side shrouding on 0395211006 provides additional mechanical protection compared to 2-side shrouding on ELFH06160 and 1753518. PCB layout and connector mating requirements should determine acceptability.

Q: Do all parts have the same moisture sensitivity? A: Yes. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity concerns for storage and handling.

Q: What are the voltage rating differences? A: ELFH06160 and 0395211006 are rated 300V UL. The 1753518 is rated 300V UL and 400V IEC, providing additional margin under IEC standards.
